Crawl Space Restoration

Some of the main reasons people search for crawlspacerestoration: they have had a recent home inspection or another service issue (plumbing problem, electrical etc.) and that service representative has alerted the customer that they have issues in their crawlspace. Sometimes customers are concerned after they see mold growth, notice an odor issue, or a pest or wildlife issue under their home or in their crawl.

A lot of customer’s homes (especially older homes) are lacking a significant Vapor Barrier. A Vapor barrier is the layer of polypropylene plastic that is placed on the ground of a crawlspace. It is code for homes to have at least 6mm thick plastic covering the ground with a one foot overlap on all seams and one foot up the foundation walls. This is crucial to keeping humidity levels lower inside the home, as the soil moisture evaporates and rises through the home creating issues with mold, mildew, and wood rot in the crawlspace and attic.
